About This Tour
There is no other place on Earth quite like the Okefenokee Swamp - the Land of the Trembling Earth. We at Okefenokee & Satilla Expeditions LLC are locals with deep ties to this amazing land. As you venture on this out-and-back trip into the enchanting landscape of the prairies (marshes) of Okefenokee with your local professional naturalist guide, you'll immerse yourself into a wetland and wilderness considered by National Geographic to be one of the world's top 100 most beautiful places! We are licensed, insured, and Federally permitted to conduct tours in Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. NOTE- this is an out-and-back tour, not a loop. NOTE- this tour is conducted by OKEFENOKEE & SATILLA EXPEDITIONS, not OKEFENOKEE ADVENTURES. Check-in with your OSE guide is at the canoe beach at the end of the parking lot, NOT in the Okefenokee Adventures building. These are two separate tour companies.
